Prologue:

1.) Fireworks (Drake)

It’s been a really strange year for me, and to sit here and try to sum it all up is a rollercoaster. Back in June I wrote in my journal,

“Every time I hear the Fireworks song (By Drake) I will see Cody Kopacz’s smile. I will remember all those long trips we made from the country out into the city to eat at Mellow Mushroom for our anniversaries.”

We rode in silence once a month for a whole year listening to that song. For me I always thought of it as a romantic song, one that kind of connected us. A ride through the night that I always looked forward to, one where I looked up at the stars and pretended that there were fireworks for us on that night. Now anytime I hear that song, I’m back in the air-conditioned passenger seat of a silver Pontiac riding down I-26.  I can’t really explain how much I was in love with him this summer.

“I can tell you that everyone makes me who I am today. I don’t regret any of the things that have happened in my life; they happened for a reason. I’ve had some really great times with Cody… and I’ve had some rough times. But when I look at all the happiness he brings me- for no real reason, other than I love him, I know I’m where I’m supposed to be. I don’t know exactly where I am right now, and I don’t know where I’ll be in 20 years from now, or even next year. The best part is: I don’t need to know. I have real faith that if I just do what I feel is right in my gut, I’ll end up where I’m supposed to be; for my gut is guided by God.”

It was a memorable year for me and I couldn’t fathom what college was going to be like, and it was so close. Cody was already going thru it all, and I was pushing myself to learn through his mistakes and experiences in hopes of a successful future.
